Most Embarassing BD moment - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This one time I said "who" when I should've said "whom".

That was so embarrassing... I didn't post for days.

But then I thought "Boy, I'm really being stupid about this- I can just edit my post."

Yeah, I forgot about the edit option. That was embarrassing too.

But no one even noticed.

And actually, that's kind of embarrassing.

Wow, somehow I managed to miss seeing that. Though from the sounds of it I guess I should be thankful.

besides that, I missed it the first time. So, you have one un-believer.

Perhaps you missed it because I sited the wrong thread! How embarassing.

But all has been duly edited, and YES, I am aware already that I have paraphrased the correct title.

Embarassing moments. Ah, yes, I have an abundance of those. My first blunder was as a newbie, maybe my first week on the Downs. It was in the "LotR Dreams" thread and I posted about having dreamt about an actor and that he was "mm mm good." Gah! I shudder at the memory! I must be cleansed!

Another was in the Shire RPG forum. I created a character with a completely unlikely past and when I applied for an RPG I was berated (albeit kindly) about proper characters and realistic histories. I promptly ditched that character and created a better one. Ah, memories...they burn!

I once had to bow out completely ungraciously of the Tolkien's Letters thread in the quiz room. I solved a few anagrams, but every time I tried to write new ones I added extra letters or left out important ones. This must have happened five or six times in two weeks. I'm very careful about anagrams now

.

My first RPing experiences were pretty bad too. I believe my first character was a Rohirrim woman who carried a sword, was half Gondorian, and had fled to the Shire because she was running away from the dark memories of her haunted past. She could almost have been a character in the Entish Bow

Oh dear...I was flipping through some old threads and reading my old posts...I was a monster!

Another embarassing BD moment was when I posted a thread asking about a certain event in a movie and why it was so, but then when I watched the movie again the reason was obvious. I was lucky, though, because nobody caught it and now, being unspecific, nobody will catch it again! Haha! Why am I so clever?...

I thought this dude was a girl, more embarrassing for him than me, though.
